RT-eCos 3.0 is a micro-sized embedded real-time kernel that has been developed based on the open source eCos 3.0 to support the basic task model of the well-known distributed real-time object model, TMO(Time-Triggered Message-triggered Object). In this paper, the design and implementation techniques of the RMMC(Real-time Multicast & Memory replication Channel) that is a standard distributed IPC model of the TMO is described based on the RT-eCos 3.0. And the support technique of the global time for using the same time in a distributed environment using the RMMC is also described. The developed global time based RMMC supports highly abstracted distributed IPC environment in a wide area distributed computing environment with the RT-eCos 3.0.

Distributed applications based on standards such as CORBA, DCOM, and EJB have been widely used in distributed environments. Recently, another XML-based standard, SOAP, has been recommended for web applications. However, these standards have a shortcoming in inter-operation because they can be run on their own environments. In this paper, we design and implement a SOAP bridge for inter-operation of SOAP with other distributed object standards. Its function is to map formats between SOAP and CORBA/DCOM at run time. Through performance experiments, we show that the computing overhead is small compared to the whole transaction execution time. Therefore, distributed objects of other platforms can be reused instead of developing new objects based on SOAP. Also, using the SOAP bridge, we design and implement an XML-based bidding system on the web. Because it is based on the web standards, it has advantages such as extendibility and interoperability compared to previous proprietary electronic commerce systems.

The traditional distributed object middleware platform is not suitable for the transmission of stream data, because RPC(Remote Procedure Call)-based message transmission have a great overhead. Therefore, the OMG(Object Management Group) proposes the AV(Audio and Video) stream reference model for streaming on the distributed object middleware platform. But, this reference model has not a detail of implementation. Particularly it also has not congestion control scheme for improvement of network efficiency on the real network environment. It is a very important and difficult technical issue to provide the stream transmission platform with advanced congestion control scheme. In this paper, we propose an architecture of a distributed stream transport platform and deal with the design and implementation concept of our proposed platform. Also, we present a mechanism to improve streaming utilization by SRTP(Smart RTP). SRTP is our proposed TCP-Friendly scheme.

A distributed DBMS integrates local schemas that are independently designed, maintained, and managed by different users at each site providing a global virtual schema. This global schema supports users at a specific site to transparently utilize local database at different sites. The security features of the local schema should also not be changed in the global schema integrating security features of each local schema. Researches on the integration of security features into local schema in distributed DBMS environment, however, are very rate. This pater using the multilevel secure object-oriented database model(as the model for the definition of a local schema in distributed environment) which is an extension of the object-oriented models. It also suggests eight integration methods that can maintain the security features of local schemas. The eight methods are classified by the object classes and by relationships among them.

The Intelligent Space(ISpace) provides challenging research fields for surveillance, human-computer interfacing, networked camera conferencing, industrial monitoring or service and training applications. ISpace is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human following by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. This paper described appearance based unknown object tracking with the distributed vision system in intelligent space. First, we discuss how object color information is obtained and how the color appearance based model is constructed from this data. Then, we discuss the global color model based on the local color information. The process of learning within global model and the experimental results are also presented.

This paper presents the strategy for searching a hidden object in an unknown area for using by multiple distributed autonomous robotic systems (DARS). To search the target in Markovian space, DARS should recognize th ε ir surrounding at where they are located and generate some rules to act upon by themselves. First of all, DARS obtain 6-distances from itself to environment by infrared sensor which are hexagonally allocated around itself. Second, it calculates 6-areas with those distances then take an action, i.e., turn and move toward where the widest space will be guaranteed. After the action is taken, the value of Q will be updated by relative formula at the state. We set up an experimental environment with five small mobile robots, obstacles, and a target object, and tried to research for a target object while navigating in a un known hallway where some obstacles were placed. In the end of this paper, we present the results of three algorithms - a random search, an area-based action making process to determine the next action of the robot and hexagon-based Q-learning to enhance the area-based action making process.

As the complexity of software development is increasing due to networking, multimedia, and diverse system architecture, the need for effective software development methodology is increasing. Especially, due to software standard and internalization of software market, it is necessary to accept international quality such as ISO 9000-3. In addition, object oriented development methodology is required due to rapid propagation of OO technology and standardization. Recently, UML was accepted by the OMG as standard object-oriented modeling language for distributed environment. When we UML was accepted by the OMG as standard object-oriented modeling language for distributed environment. When we develop Java and CORBA-based software, often UML is applied to Java and CORBA-based projects. However, current structural or OMT-based object-oriented methodologies. In this paper, we proposed UML-based development and concrete guidelines for each phase in order to apply UML to software development practically and effectively. Also, we define the transition guidelines and semantics between various development tasks. In addition, the analysis and design techniques of user interface and system development techniques needed in Web application development are presented.

Distributed object technologies have become popular in developing distributed systems. Although such middleware platforms as DSOM, DCOM, CORBA and Java RMI ease the development of distributed applications, they do not directly improve the reliability and the availability of these applications. Because the task of developing fault-tolerance techniques for distributed object paradigms is often complicated and error-prone, there is a great need for a development toolkit that enhances the reliability and the availability of distributed objects. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant distributed middleware system based on RMI, called IMMORTAL. We use a log-based rollback-recovery mechanism for supporting reliable distributed computing. Through a series of experiments, we observe that benchmark applications on the IMMORTAL tolerate hardware and software failures and evaluate its performance and scalability.

With the structure of tilde-area computing system which Is specified by a researching team in Vrije University, Netherlands, lots of researchers and developers have been progressing the studies of global location and interconnection services of distributed objects existing in global sites. Most of them halve focused on binding services of only non-duplicated computational objects existing wide-area computing sites without any consideration of duplication problems. But all of objects existing on the earth rave the duplicated characteristics according to how to categorize their own names or properties. These objects with the same property can define as duplicated computational objects. Up to now, the existing naming or trading mechanism has not supported the binding services of duplicated objects, because of deficiency of independent location service. For this reason, we suggest a new model that can not only manages locations of duplicated objects In wide-area computing environments, but also provide minimum binding time by considering both the optimal selection of one of duplicated objects and load balance among distributed systems. Our model is functionally divided into 2 parts, one part to obtain an unique object handle of duplicated objects with same property as a naming and trading service, and the other to search one or more contact addresses by a node manager using a liven object handle, as a location service For location transparency, these services are independently executing each other. Based on our model, we described structure of wide-area integrated tree and algorithms for searching and updating contact address of distributed object on this tree. finally, we showed a federation structure that can globally bind distributed objects located on different regions from an arbitrary client object.

The semantic relationship structures hierarchically the huge amount of document objects which is usually not formatted. However, it is very difficult to structure relevant data from various distributed application domains. This paper proposed a new object management method to service the distributed domain objects by using semantic reference relationship. The proposed mechanism utilized the profile structure in order to extract the semantic similarity from application domain objects and utilized the joint matrix to decide the semantic relationship of the extracted objects. This paper performed the simulation to show the performance of the proposed method, and simulation results show that the proposed method has better retrieval performance than the existing text mining method and information extraction method.
